Low 10-Year Prostate Cancer Mortality Across All Treatments: Long-Term CEASAR Data Reinforce Shared Decision-Making

A decade after diagnosis, most men with localized prostate cancer are far more likely to die of something else than of their cancer, regardless of whether they choose surgery, radiation, or active surveillance. This is the central message of the long-term follow-up from the CEASAR study, a large, prospective, observational population-based U.S. cohort that enrolled […]

Biallelic Loss in DDR Genes and Its Clinical Impact

Research presented during ASCO GU 2026, showed that germline DDR variants are common enough in metastatic prostate cancer to matter clinically, but their impact is highly gene-specific. In this 3,005-patient cohort, about 9% carried a germline DDR variant, and the study was especially important because it assessed both small variants and structural variants across 31 […]

A New Clue for Prostate Cancer Survival

A recent study, published on Nature, looked at a question that matters just as much as prostate cancer risk: why do some tumors stay quiet while others become life-threatening after diagnosis? The researchers searched for genes whose activity might be linked to survival, not just to the chance of developing the disease. To do this, […]

BRCA-Altered mCSPC Progresses Faster on ARPIs: A Real-World Treatment Gap

Recent real-world data clarify how homologous recombination repair (HRR) alterations, especially BRCA1/2 mutations, affect outcomes in metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs). In a US cohort of 745 patients, overall differences in time-to-next-treatment (TTNT) and time-to-castration resistance (TTCR) were modest between patients without HRR alterations and those with non-BRCA […]

Real-World OPTYX Study: Sustained Castration and Rapid Testosterone Recovery with Relugolix

Relugolix (Orgovyx), the first oral androgen deprivation therapy approved for advanced prostate cancer, continues to show consistent performance in real-world settings. New data from the OPTYX study, a prospective observational analysis, provide further evidence on testosterone suppression, recovery, and PSA control in routine clinical practice. The study included 999 patients, predominantly with nonmetastatic disease and […]

B7-H3 Emerges as Prime Target for Prostate Cancer Across All Stages

A 2026 study published in Clinical Cancer Research has pinpointed B7-H3 as a standout therapeutic target for prostate cancer, offering hope against the disease’s toughest forms. The work analyzed tissue from prostate cancer patients across the full spectrum, from hormone-sensitive and castration-resistant to neuroendocrine and “double-negative” subtypes, revealing B7-H3’s consistent, broad expression. This uniformity stands […]

B7‑H3 Expression Shapes Prognosis Differently Across Prostate Cancer Stages

A new observational study of more than 8,000 prostate tumors shows that B7‑H3 (CD276) expression helps shape prognosis and could open new paths for targeted therapies. Researchers analyzed 8,157 prostate cancer samples with matched DNA and RNA data, stratifying them by tissue site, hormone‑sensitivity status, and self‑reported race, then examined how B7‑H3 levels related to […]

ctDNA and Fragmentomics Reveal New Predictors of Survival in 177 Lu-PSMA–617 mCRPC

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) remains one of the most challenging stages of prostate cancer, marked by poor prognosis and limited durable treatment options. The radioligand therapy 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) has emerged as a significant advance, demonstrating an overall survival benefit in selected patients. However, clinical responses vary widely, highlighting an urgent need for biomarkers that […]

Immune‑transcriptomic correlates of response to alpha‑ versus beta‑emitting PRRT in neuroendocrine tumors

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is being used more often to treat certain solid tumors, such as neuroendocrine tumors that express somatostatin receptors and some prostate cancers. One form of PRRT uses a beta‑emitting drug (177Lu‑DOTATATE), which is currently the standard treatment for many of these neuroendocrine tumors. Another, newer approach uses an alpha‑emitting drug […]

Healthy Eating After Prostate Cancer Tied to Lower Risk of Frailty

Eating a healthier diet after a prostate cancer diagnosis may help men age with more strength and resilience, according to a large prospective observational U.S. study that will be presented at the AACR 2026 meeting. The analysis followed more than five thousand men from the Health Professionals Follow‑up Study who were not frail when they […]
